“A new surge in lethal attacks in Thailand’s southernmost region has underscored the lack of progress in resolving the insurgent conflict after four years of military junta rule. The restive region had seen a lull in violence, including over a year-long national period of mourning from October 2016-17 for deceased King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Now, the insurgency appears to have sprung back to lethal life as the military takes credit for the relative calm.”
